'sus sensuele fermes so tu mais noem rame sua miens pm of sie reihe,

To all whom it mag/concern.-

Be-it known that 1,. Cirio-"recae B. ISHAM, of Burlington, in the countyofChittenden and State of.

Vermont, have invented certain new and useful Ifn- `provemeuts -inStoves; and. do hereby declare the following to be a full,"'clear, andexact description thereof, reference beingl had to the accompanyingdrawing and to Athereon.

the letter-sof reference marked .The nature of nay-.inventioncousists'in'the coustruction and arrangement Aofa stove, with upwad anddivingdraug1ts,j lsoas 'to insure freedom from smoke, gas, dnst,1or anyinconvenience fromjcook;` .ing of any-kindfand also to' giveth'egreatest amount' o f heat bydirect radiation from the` fire itself,without said'heat being ,obstructed by intervening metal. v. -In orderto -euabiejothei's skilled in the art to which my invention appertaiustomake'anduseih'e same', I will .now proceed 4to describe its construc--f tion and operation, referringto 'the annexed draw;

ing `which forms a.' partoffthis `specification, and in FigureI5-'1'cpresents'v a view of the cap of the stove.V

Figure'6 represents a'vewof the stove with the cap removed.

a represents the jacket. or lcase,made of any de- 1 sired metal, ofcircular, elliptical, or, any other suitable form, and having apipe,`B,'attached to it -iu the 'llie jacket A is'attaehed vto the baseO, which is vprovidedwith a perforated bottom, D, aud hollow Acone E,extending upward from the center.

` .On top of the perforated bottom D is placed a perforated circular`plate, E', thejcone E extending up through an aperture in the centerofsaid plate.

The holes in the platecorrespondwiththe holes 4 in the bjottornD, saidplate andbottom'being for the purpose of allowing ashes, at any timedesired, to fall through and into the ash-receiver F underneath, theplate being 'operated by means ofa lever, Gextend j ing to theoutsid'eothe ,jaeketoroase A,

'rue grate H is laced 'ou liop ofthe Vcone E, and

l is, ou its under side,iprovi`ded'wltha ciroular'lange,

which Aextends down over the cone, for" the purpose of insuring a steadymotion. Yi'vhile shaking. r

vIn the center thegrateH is bulged upward, as

'shown in g. 1, and perforated, to admit acurrent of air fom the hollowkcope to pass upward to the fue' 4put s The edge or circumference of thegrate H is serrated, as shown in fig. 4, for the purpose of allowing theashes from the fire-pot to more readily fall to the plate E', said gratebeing operated by means of a' lever, m, which paeses out through thecase or jacketA.

'The .fire-pot I iscast or otherwise suitablymade of metal, of circular`form, with its sides pierced or slotted throughoutits entirecircumference, to allow gas and smoke to escape.'

. The fire-pot is 'open at the bottom, the grate H forming the bottomfor the same,.

The upper part of .the lire-pot I extends over the upper edge-ofthe janit ,as a rest,'and to support Athe cover or top of stops IS.

- On the inside' of the're-pot I are cast strengthening-bars L L, in anysuitable'manner to insure strength and durability- The cover or topKlfismade in any desired form,

and perforated, to adiuit of air passing through, to form thetopdraught.

' The ash-receiver F is hung clear of the bottom D,

to admit thc under current or draughtto pass between it and the bottomof the stove.

When'the cover or cap K -is removed, a great amount of heat is obtainedby direct radiation, because the fire is enti ely open, thediving-draught being sufficient to cgrry all the gases or smoke`downward, and without anygas lor smoke escaping into the room.

The cover is only used when rekindling the tire, or

when long wood is burned.

.The stove can be used for cooking,wl1en the cover is removed, byplaeingi the kettle or other vessel on top of the tire-pot, and it mayalso be used for heating irons.

The adrught is readilyregulated by the damper o in the pipe B.

Having thus fully described myiuvention,

What I claim'asnew, anddesire to secure by Letters Patent, is g 1. Thearrangement of the ease a, pipe B, base O, perforated bottom D, andplate E', substantially as shown and described.

2. The combination'of thebase C, perforated bottom. D, hollow cone E,and ash-receiver E, all oonstructed and arrangedy substantially as andfor the purposes herein set forth.'

3. In combination with theV` perforated bottom D.

and hollow cone E, the perforated plate E', operated f by means of thelever G, substantially asand for the purposes herein set iilrtlr.` e.The grate H, constructed yas described, with perforated bulge' iu thecenter, serrated edges, and 'a circular downwardly-projecting ange onits under side, said fiauge encircling the upper end of the hollow coneE, substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.

5. The fire-pot I, constructed without a. bottom, and having its sidespierced o.' slotted, and provided with strengthening-bars L L, iucombination with the grate H, substantially as and for the purposesherein set forth.

6. The combination of the jacket 01 case A, base C, bottom D, plate E',cone E, grate H, fire-pot I, and cap K., all constructed and arranged tooperate substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.
